Lord You seem so far away
A million miles or more, it feels today
And though I haven't lost my faith
I must confess right now that it's hard for me to pray

But I don't know what to say
And I don't know where to start
But as you give the grace
With all that's in my heart

I will sing, I will praise
Even in my darkest hour, through the sorrow and the pain
I will sing, I will praise
Lift my hands to honor You because Your word is true
I will sing

Lord it's hard for me to see
All the thoughts and plans You have for me
But I will put my trust in You
Knowing that you died to set me free

But I don't know what to say
And I don't know where to start
But as you give the grace
With all that's in my heart

I will sing, I will praise
Even in my darkest hour, through the sorrow and the pain
I will sing, I will praise
Lift my hands to honor You because Your word is true

I will sing, I will praise
Even in my darkest hour, through the sorrow and the pain
I will sing, I will praise
Lift my hands to honor You because Your word is true
I will sing, I will sing, I will sing

I will sing, oh yes I will
I will sing
